This document provides information on Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment and Control (HIRAC). It defines risk, hazard, and ill health. It explains why HIRAC is important from both legal and financial perspectives. Key aspects of risk assessment are discussed, including factors to consider, evaluating likelihood and severity, and developing a risk matrix. The hierarchy of controls for reducing risk is outlined. Examples of potential hazards, consequences, and control measures are given. Guidance is provided on reviewing risk assessments, including triggers for when a review is needed. Related HIRAC procedures and documentation are listed.

- 17. Risk Score (Range) Risk LevelAction 1 to 3 Low A risk identified as low may be considered as acceptable and further reduction may not be necessary. However, if the risk can be resolved quickly and efficiently, control measures should be implemented and recorded. 5 to 9 Medium A risk requires a planned approach to controlling the hazard and applies temporary measure if required. Actions taken must be documented on the risk assessment form including date for completion. Above 9 High A risk requires immediate action to control the hazard as detailed in the hierarchy of control. Actions taken must be documented on the risk assessment form including date for completion. RISK LEVEL INDEX AND ACTION Assessing Risk

- 19. To decide onthe risk control there is a hierarchy of risk control i.e. 1. Eliminate hazard 2. Substitution 3. Engineering control 4. Administrative controls 5. PPE Controlling Risk Level E.g. eliminating the need to work in a confined space. E.g. using a hydraulic machine in wet condition instead of electrical power driven machine to avoid shock hazards. E.g. installing guarding on equipment or operating machinery remotely E.g. displaying warning signs or providing safety training E.g. using respiratory protection to minimize exposure to inhalation of silica dust, fine particles, cement dust etc.
